It Quiets the Cough

Governor Hanly in one thing, at least, has outdone all of his predecessors: He sent to the legislature a message more than twice as long as any former governor. It was so long that, to make sure someone would read it, he read it himself, taking four hours to the task. The governor in his message did not go deeply into the state’s financial condition. He skimmed the surface with exceeding care for fear of disclosing something. But he did warn the legislature that it must not make specific appropriations in excess of $2,000,000 for the next two years as that sum would exhaust the revenues for that period. A Washington letter says that “Vice President Fairbanks is receiving scores of invitations to deliver addresses in various parts of the country.” Now, we wonder why. Mr. Fairbanks has no opinions or convictions on public questions, and his customary verbal inanities are not enticing. Perhaps the people only want to see his brindle whiskers. The Democratic members of both branches of the legislature have shown a most commendable spirit of harmony. Bills covering all of the platform pledges have been prepared and will be unitedly supported. So iar as the Democratic members are concerned it is evident that they clearly understand themselves and mean to do their duty so far as a minority can.

The Indiana Farmers’ congiess, in session at Indianapolis last week went on record in opposition to more offices and bigger salaries. This is timely action. Since the Republican party has been in power in the state it has created many unnecessary offices and needlessly increased the salaries of others. Extravagance has been piled upon extravagance until the state’s finances are in a condition bordering on bankruptcy.

The ship subsidy graft bill is so framed that it will chiefly benefit steamship lines controlled by Harriman and his associates. This bill passed the senate. The Indiana senators, Beveridge and Hemenway, voted for it. The Republicans in the house would like to pass the bill and they will do it if the Harriman and other interests can stiffen up their courage. It is best to keep an eye on this steal. If it gets throngh it will open the door to still larger legirlative thefts.
